It's your call what you do, it just seems...unpleasant to me.
[Downright terrifying, but that didn't even have a chance of leaving his head with someone he'd just met.]
Meanwhile, what would you like to learn first? I can put aside what I've got and we can start with whatever interests you most or you feel like you need the most help with.
[Aang it relieved to not talk about the vents and why he might want to live in them. On some level he knows it’s not healthy, but he’s rather be unhealthy and safe than otherwise.]
Do your patients need you mostly because they get sick or because they get hurt?
[He gave a small chuckle that held as mix of exasperation and affection and dug out the practice kit he'd used to show Justice how to tend to various kinds of wounds.]
With this crew? Injury for certain. Sickness happens on occasion, but very rarely. Generally, I can rely on my magic for anything that comes up. For you, the best thing to start with would likely be in case of injury while we're on a planet and away from your clinic.
[He pulls out the things necessary to the lesson as he explains, the space between them either unnoticed or not a concern.]
It's sort of a mixture between our own energies and capabilities and the connection mages from Thedas have to the Fade. Every living thing is connected to the Fade, a...dream-like realm where spirits and demons live, but only mages are actively aware of the connection and able to use it. We pull power from the Fade, but it's siphoned through our own abilities, a 'mana pool,' and if we exhaust that pool, we exhaust ourselves and need rest.
I'm not sure if you've anything like that yourself or back home, but in the middle of a fight when having to use mana to defend as much as heal, having alternatives to magic does help. So I have kits and make potions with the plants I grow so there's always options.

[Aang stays out of arm's length, going across the table to see what Anders is doing with the materials, and his bright mood doesn't flag.]
You heal with magic, right? How does it work?
